Design-based Research Special Interview

Design-based Research Special Interview

In this episode of Digital Pursuit, I share what I have learned about Design-based Reseach (DBR). When considering what this may look like in the classroom, I interview educator Ralph Pizzo, who is finishing up his 18th year in education, to see how he might use this research method in his own classes. Please note, that this is not a comprehensive interview and just highlights a portion of the positive impact DBR can have in the field of education.
